You are right. Against all odds, this veteran and talented performer has ended up reaching first place in the ranking Billboard 200: his latest album, Love Is The Answer, has managed to sell 180000 copies in their first week of release.
This is the first # 1 album of Barbra since the departure of Higher Ground (1997).
Everyone anticipated that the best-selling album was going to be the Brand new eyes de Paramore, but the band of Hayley williams had to settle for second place when registering the sale of 175000 do you copy.
Mariah Carey it also fell short: Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel holds the third location, with 168000 copies sold.
However, Paramore has improved a lot over the sales of his previous job: Riot! (2007) debuted at number 20.
The other side of the coin is for Mariah: E = MC2 (2008) sold nothing less than 463000 copies in their first week.
